Salary up to £65,000 DOE
Shreen Vets are excited to welcome a confident Veterinary Surgeon to our friendly, welcoming team. We’re looking for someone who enjoys everyday GP life, is comfortable with sole charge and thrives in a first opinion setting where no two days are the same.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a vet who wants to feel trusted, supported and genuinely part of the team.
A Great Mix of Consults and Surgery
We’re a small animal-only practice offering a strong balance of consults and surgery, including two dedicated ops days. Our caseload is primarily routine procedures, giving you the chance to build strong client relationships while maintaining solid surgical exposure.
We’re well equipped with brand new DR X-ray, ultrasound, flexible endoscopy, capnography and a full in-house lab, alongside a range of other diagnostic tools. While we refer when necessary, we aim to keep as much in-house as possible to ensure continuity of care for our clients and their pets.
A Team That Has Your Back
You’ll be supported by an experienced, hands-on RVN team who run their own clinics and actively assist with procedures. Alongside our Veterinary Surgeon and dedicated client care team, including a certificate holder in Physiotherapy, we foster a collaborative environment where everyone’s input is valued.
We’re also open to supporting further certification for the right candidate.
Modern Practice, Comfortable Environment
Our single-site practice is based in a recently refurbished converted building in the town centre. Inside, you’ll find a spacious reception, three large consult rooms, prep and theatre, separate cat and dog wards, a cosy staff area, quiet office space for admin time and on-site parking.
Work-Life Balance That Works
This is a full-time role of 40 hours over four days with just 1:4 Saturday mornings (8:30am–12:30pm). There’s no out-of-hours or on-call, and we’re happy to consider part-time applications of 30+ hours per week.
Life in and Around Gillingham
Located in the heart of Dorset, Gillingham offers the perfect blend of countryside charm and convenience. With beautiful rural walks, easy access to the Jurassic Coast and excellent transport links, it’s an ideal place to enjoy a relaxed pace of life while staying well connected.
